Duck with black patch under foot (may be bumblefoot?) and swollen joints.

[Gyoza]

My poor duck both of his foot has dark red near black patch under his feet and a swollen joint on his left foot.
Is the dark coloured patch bumblefoot?
How do I cure his swollen joint?

Thank you

A better picture would help. Soak its feet in Epsom salt and warm water.

Yes looks like bumblefoot on the bottom of the foot and like she got cut on the top.

Here is how to do the surgery

Or if you dont want to do surgery there are lots of other soaking treatments you can find here on byc.

Okay I'll get the needed material and try the surgery method.

How about the swollen joint?

I dont know. Its probably an an infection from the bumblefoot or got injured some way. Soaking it in the salt water might help.
